    This was WONDERFUL. A far cry from the bottled variety I used to buy in college. I had to adapt some of the basic ingredients to the items I had on hand. I used orange juice in place of pineapple juice and diced frozen peach slices instead of pineapple (both added a great mild sweet/tart flavor. I added a can of diced water chestnuts, diced red and yellow pepper, and diced baby carrots (steamed for 1 min in microwave t soften prior to stir-frying, asian chile paste instead of red pepper flakes and used slightly less brown sugar. Finally, I dredged the pork with the Emerils Essence and corn starch prior to sauteing it. I will definitely try this again with chicken.

    Wow, we do not like sweet and sour anything and this is great! So easy to make with common kitchen ingredients.

    This was such an easy and fabulous recipe. I was hesitant as this was my first time cooking sweet and sour sauce, but the results were fantastic. I used chicken in place of pork, increased the brown sugar to 3/4 cup as I like my sauce super sweet, and also added a few squirts of asian chili sauce to give it an extra kick because I only had 1 tsp of crushed red peppers on hand. This is defiantly a keeper, I expect to use this recipe for years! Great job Emeril, as always.

    Oh my gosh! I thought I could cook a decent sweet and sour pork before and now I see that 'mine' was more like 'all you can eat' diner and Emeril's recipe is SUPURB! I doubled everything except the pepper flakes. I LIKED the pepper flakes but 1/2 the amount called for was plenty. Also for the second bell pepper, I used a red one. For those that skipped the ginger and toasted macadamia nuts, I REALLY loved the flavors these added. The nuts toasted, cooled, and chopped in my mini food processor, then sprinkled over the top of my dish ~ mercy! Thank you Emeril.

    Very good with any protien and the sauce's heat can be adjusted very easily with the addition or subtraction of the pepper flakes.in my opininion the hotter the better.

    Delicious! I add carrots, celery, water chestnuts and baby corn. I also dredge my pork in seasoned corn starch and fry it off before I add the sauce and veggies. This is a family favorite!

    Anne I don't know what happened in your kitchen but i have been making this recipes for the past six years with very diverse food crowds and they love it the only thing i do agree with you on is that its very hot so to take care of that i just eliminated the red pepper flakes all together
